Set Printer To Usb Port Windows 10

Win 7 Pro x64 machine on a company domain network does not have the ability to add a USB printer for some reason. All other computers do.

Virtual COM Port Driver provides you with the ability to create an unlimited number of COM ports. Created COM ports are l. Epson TM Virtual Port Driver. Home / General, Peripherals / Epson TM Virtual Port Driver. In General, Peripherals. Alternatively, if you are using more than one USB-Printer on your machine or your printer is shown above you can select the specific printer. USB002 is also a Virtual Printer Port that appears if USB001 is already in use with another USB printer. The port works the same as USB001 in allowing you to select it for your USB printer and completing the installation process. Thus I would like to suggest you re-add your printer for test. The first step in using a Zebra printer via USB is establishing USB connectivity with the device. So long as a driver is present on your PC, Windows should detect and install the USB virtual port for your printer. Click the following link for more detail on USB communication with a Zebra Printer. Read More Additional Information.

In the Add Local Printer section, there's no USB001 (Virtual Printer Port for USB) option.

I tried doing several Google searches, found a few tricks, but nothing seems to work. I created a local port, labeled it USB001 and installed the driver, but the printer does not print anything.

Any ideas?

That port is only created when you install a USB printer. It's not there by default. Follow the manufacturers instructions for your printer installation.

Uninstall the USB devices.When reinstalling the USB Printing Support, choose the driver to install. Search location C:Windowsinf

That did it on mine!

For me, I had to uninstall the USB to Serial drivers that I installed.

Specifically the PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1_14_0.

After searching for a while, I found no real answer. And it's not really answered here yet. So I decided to try something.

Even though my printer installation instructions say NOT to plug it in before installation, I decided to anyway.
My reasoning was that USB always seems to use pnp and install drivers the first time you use a device.
I don't remember ever using a USB to parallel cable, so I guessed that's why a USB local port didn't appear in the list.

Viola - It worked! And I am connecting an OLD Brother IntelliFax 4100. And now the USB port appears in the drop down.

My question is similar to Setting up a virtual Com Port?, which has no answers.

I have software that can only print to a printer on COMx, a printer with a USB port, and a computer with a USB port but no serial ports, so the oft-suggested physical Serial-to-USB adapter isn't a solution. I'm looking for software that tricks Windows 7 into mapping a virtual COM port to a physical USB port. I'm certain that if the software I'm using sends its stream of bits to the USB port that the printer will work just fine. How do I trick the software into thinking it's printing to COMx when it's actually printing to USBx?

Internet searches only turn up drivers for some specific hardware Serial-to-USB adapter, but that's not what I'm looking for as I don't have that hardware. I found a Microsoft forum where they suggested changing the USB port's label in Device Manager, but we never found anything like what they described; perhaps that's possible with a different USB controller than we have.

There is a simple way to do it using standard Windows commands. Lee Harrison's link shows this command, but here's a short description. Start by making the printer shareable (from Printer Properties > Sharing tab).

Now, start a command prompt and type:

Germany drivers test army. Here, pc_name is the name of the sharing PC, and printer_share_name is the share name you gave the printer when you set up the share.

From then on, anything you send to COM1 will be re-routed to the printer.

There is one proviso however - and it applies regardless of which method you use to get the data to the printer, hardware or software:

As your program only knows about COM1, I assume it will send plain text to the printer. Many USB-only printers do NOT understand plain text, and will just ignore it altogether. Printers that do this are called host-based printers, where the Windows graphics engine converts the page into dots on the paper, rather than letting the printer do the conversion. They are mostly the low cost printers, especially inkjets but also some lasers. Printers that do understand text need to support a language called PCL5. PCL6 printers usually also support PCL5, but PCL3 printers do not.

If you tell me your printer model I can check what language it supports.

We use this solution in the company.

Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Application software can access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port.

Here is the Instalation Guide.

This is a very specific scenario, but the following directions may work for you:http://www.decompile.com/dataflex/tips/usb_printer.htm

Directly from that link:

However, I don't know if COM connections will even be selectable in your case since your PC doesn't have any to begin with. You may be able to purchase a USB/COM adapter just to gain access to these values, then use the above directions to forward to your USB printer.

Sounds kinda hack-ish but when you're running old software sometimes this is what it comes down. Whatever the solution, I don't know that it will appear to be elegant!
